That does indeed sound good. A 1500 could actually be worse depending on the car, how much load it's pulling, etc.

You would be struggling to get better economy. For what it would cost you it could add up to a lot of fuel for the tx3.

Thats impressive fuel use,but considering thats open road driving compared to my painful city driving of taking 40 mins sometimes just to get to work. :(

This is a cunning bit of self promotion isnt it! ;) Nice laser, you should probably keep it and enjoy the fuel economy! Good luck either way

i doubt its pulling that kind of mileage, i have the mazda astina version of this car, 1800 DOHC, and il admit, its got a bit of get up and go, but it doesnt get close to that kind of mileage and my car is up to date on tuning. best i was getting was wanganui to dargaville on a tank of gas ($95) which was when gas was $1.80 p/l

No doubt with straight running between Timaru/Ashburtona Falcon/Commodore would return in the mid 8's

14 km/L is poor for a 1600
my cousins superstrut gets into the 17 km/L range
